Behind the scenes at The Kitchen Denver

The Kitchen Denver offers between four and six varieties of oyster at any given time -- all year-round. They are served by the half-dozen for $16 and by the dozen for $32 and come with cocktail sauce, champagne, mignonette and lemon. During the restaurant's community hour, 3 to 6 p.m. daily, oysters cost $1.25 each.
